It's currently 85 with dp that has now crept up to 70. No crickets? No cicadas? No katydids?? Maybe you should have your hearing checked I’M KIDDING!! Seriously, 11:30 pm and it’s still 82F. wtf??

At any rate, I miss their noise on these hot days. Edit: Oops - my bad - Brood X was last year! My memory is slipping. At any rate, next week won't be as hot. Let's see if the cicadas recover. I didn't even see any Brood X here last year either - and the last time I believe that brood was out was around a year after one of my sisters had moved into her Montco house. She had a couple stragglers crawling up her shed near the creek at the bottom of her backyard, and that was the first time I had ever seen a "red-eyed" cicada. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, 11:30 pm and it’s still 82F. wtf?? LOL couldn't miss the loud song sparrows that were singing before the robins in the mornings. I did see a lanternfly nymph (an "older" stage, red specked one like below) - But so far haven't seen any adults (thankfully because they were a nightmare in 2019 and 2020, with a huge drop-off of them last year). As RedSky hinted, it could be they were drying up while emerging. I have only had 0.5" of rain in my neighborhood in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Irony alert this morning - so far I suppose the ground is so dry that there is efficient radiational cooling going on because my low temp this morning so far was 73, lower than the min the past 5 days. Currently 74 about 10 minutes before sunrise, with dp 68. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Today should be the warmest day of the current heat spell. Temps across the entire county should get close to the middle 90's in the higher terrain to even upper 90's in some of the lower spots. This could approach some records. Rain chances will also increase by tomorrow night with what would be some welcome rainfall! After that the rest of the week looks to be much closer to normal temps with highs no higher than the low to mid-80's. The record high today is 95 degrees (which could be in danger) set back in 1918. The record low was 48 degrees back in 1985. Daily record rainfall was 1.23" in 1911. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Briefly tapped 98 IMBY just before 2:30 pm but that might be it for me. Oddly (or thankfully), the dp stayed reasonable today although it has started creeping up now. It's currently a hazy 96 with dp 70. ETA for my 90s and above count - today was #12 for July and #18 since May (revised up one to included a missed June one). This time last year, I had 19, 90+s by this time since May 2021. However July 2021 had a total of 10 days at 90+ for the month and June had 9 for the month (May had 2), where this year June had far fewer with 3.

CoolHandMike Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Topped out at 97.3 imby. Seems pretty in line with RDG actually, which is about a mile away and at roughly the same elevation. We do have some local topography that I think does influence our microclimate--for example, coming home from work this past week and according to my car thermo, driving along the Skook near my house is ~5°F cooler than at my house, which is maybe 150' higher ASL and on somewhat of a low hill.

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 @5:59 am, 5 minutes after sunrise, it was 80 IMBY! I know this will end up being a RER for PHL for highest min (I think the previous record was 78). Dp is 75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I bottomed out at 80F this morning. Currently 81F with a DP of 74F. Today's forecasted high is only 87F, so that's a refreshing change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
